Cool. But the info website also said that i need to convert the ds.gba file to nds. file, but there is already one in the archive I downloaded. So, they said about converting it, but was it only then, when there did not come scummvm nds with the archive?

The ScummVM DS site does not say anything about converting .ds.gba to .nds.

Renaming I meant.
And Babadlek said that .nds files MUST be launched by START button, but in the videos i've seen where they start ScummVM DS via A button.

Follow the instructions on the site. They work. After you've got it running you can try other methods to see if they work too.

See the ScummVM DS website:
http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com
Look at the section 'Which games are compatible with ScummVM on the DS?'

I don't mean a, b or c versions, I mean the latest builds. I've heard that eg. beta3 isn't so good with sam and max.

Yes, the cursor icon doesn't show properly on Sam & Max with beta3. Use beta2 for now.

No, it should make no difference.

Well, there reads that be sure to press A to boot the game, not press A to boot the app.

Yeah, true, it's perhaps not as clear as it could be. But you already knew that some .nds files are started with A and some with START on the M3, so I reckon you knew what I was talking about.
